Could doggie day care or a cage free boarding environment be stressful for my dog?
It could be, although not normally, because it is a very playful and fun environment for your dog. However, the change of place and routine, along with your absence, could be stressful for your dog. Like people, dogs exhibit stress in a number of ways, including loss of appetite, a weaker immune system, diarrhea, nervousness, etc. All of these things are perfectly normal, and they usually subside after the dog has gotten used to the new environment. Unlike a caged environment where your dog may not receive consistent attention, because we are completely cage free, there is always someone with your dog at all times so we can give your dog personal attention and love to ease the transition.
